Plutalova street

This street was laid in the early 1740s in the settlement of the St. Petersburg garrison regiment. The existing name was received at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries by the name of the landowner Grigory Vasilyevich Plutalov ^[2] , later (in the 1820s ) - Lieutenant General and Commandant of the Shlisselburg Fortress . The toponym has the name in the form of a short possessive adjective feminine ^{[1] [3]} .

Like many other streets in the area, from 1804 to 1817 it simultaneously had a "numbered" name - 17th Street . Also, along with some neighboring streets ( Barmaleeva , Polozova ), simultaneously renamed according to the names of Ukrainian settlements, on December 15, 1952 Plutalova was called Gorlovskaya Street , but on January 4, 1954, these streets and Plutalova among them were returned to their former names.

Throughout the 18th and almost the entire 19th century, Plutalov Street was built up mainly with wooden structures, interspersed with wastelands and vegetable gardens. The construction of high-rise buildings here began mainly at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries .

In contrast to all neighboring streets parallel to it, the numbering on Plutalova is not from Bolshoy Prospekt , but in the opposite direction. This is due to the fact that initially Plutalova Street did not reach Bolshoy Prospekt, ending in a dead end. In 1890, homeowners turned to the City Duma with a proposal to continue the street to Bolshoy Prospekt. The solution to this issue lasted until 1892 (since it was necessary to alienate part of the plots from private property), and the implementation of work - until 1903 .

Opposite the beginning of Plutalova Street is the building of the Izmeritel plant ( Chkalovsky Prospekt , 50). ^[4] . Until the 1920s, this building was the church of Alexy, a man of God in the separation of the House of Mercy. ^[5] The church was built in 1906 - 1911 according to the project of arch. G. D. Grimm and was listed at the church of the Apostle Matthias on Bolshaya Pushkarskaya Street . The church and the house of mercy had an address along Barmaleeva Street , running parallel to Plutalova. After the revolution, they were closed, and their buildings were completely, beyond recognition, rebuilt into the building of the Artel Progress-Radio factory (founded on September 20, 1928 , now the Izmeritel plant).
